How can I successfully propagate bougainvillea from cuttings?

To successfully propagate bougainvillea from cuttings, follow these steps:

1. Take a cutting from a healthy bougainvillea plant, about 6 inches long.
2. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting.
3. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
4. Plant the cutting in a well-draining soil mix.
5. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a warm, sunny location.
6. After a few weeks, roots should start to form.
7. Once roots are established, transplant the cutting into a larger pot or the garden.
